Looks awesome man. Great proportions. This car wears 20s so well.

Very clean and sharp.

here's what i thnk: the other member on here who also has the fx wheels on his white M and yours just look great with this combo. i just can't find them cheap enough to justify grabbing them as winter wheels. but good job, car looks great. anything else you've done to it?

Those are actually 21 inchers. They do look very nice and fit the car so perfect. Same here, If they were attainable for a reasonable amount of money I would be interested.

Hope you have the optional pothole finder with so little tire sidewall.

What's the load capacity? How's the ride? Stopping distance increase? Acceleration decrease?

Static looks are great for the driveway, but a car is designed for dynamic use.

Car looks amazing. Looks like it is lowered on Teins. It also looks as if he could a** another size up on the tires for higher profile. But all in all, WOW. Love those wheels.

I really love the look. I got curious and checked with my local dealer, they wanted $6,500 with tires, installation and reusing my wheel sensors. They also mentioned it would void my curent powertrain and suspension warranty from Infiniti. I really love the look but I'ma p***y out and keep mine stock for now. You should get the grill painted black except for the emblem next. Someone posted a pic of thiers with a black grill a week or two ago.

They can be found as (used)N Dealer Take-Offs for ~$1500.

And I'm not sure how a dealer/manufacturer would claim changing the wheels and tires void a warranty?!!?

BTW, if you have the sport wheels shown in your avatar, keep them, they're forged and look gorgeous.

I love my wheels but those 21" are tough competition. This is from the dealer: "A set of 21” FX Sport wheels with tires installed would be $6,500. This would include reusing your wheel sensors from your M. While you said you have seen it on an M, I would not recommend putting 21” wheels on your M. You will be changing the ride, as well as voiding your power train and suspension warranty from Infiniti. Infiniti did not offer a 21” option and the larger tires will put added stress onto the performance of your vehicle, possibly resulting in damaging important components."

Hey Luigi_0915, what size tires are you running on your FX50's?

I"m sitting on Dunlop SP Sport 9000 245/35/21's. They're OK but road noise pronounced. I wanna change them out but gonna roll with them until I need a new set.

Looks good...just be careful you don't pop those skinny tires though! Looks like you're just rolling on wheels.

search on e-ba. the FX guys are paying over $2500 for the whole set. the 21x9.5" fx50 wheels are made by enkei and actually are lighter than the OEM 18's from the FX35 2009's

And Eibach's are 1.6" or so?

I'm doing Espelir and want to know if my car will look remotely as good as I'm also considering the 21" FX's. The Espelir's are 1.25" I believe.
